The
Leeds Classic Center-Pin Fishing Reel
This Ratchet
Drag Trotting Reel gives superior line control and increased 'Playability'
Background
After many customers asked for an "audible click/drag"
ability, we are proud to announce that we can offer anglers an upgraded
yet traditional "Leeds Classic" trotting reel. We based
the design of our ratchet drag on the proven on/off method used
by the vintage Alcocks "Aerial" reel. We have mounted
the on/off twist knob for the ratchet on the reel's back-plate close
to the saddle casting. Thus it is ideally positioned for fingertip
control by the same hand which is also holding the rod. The drag
not only helps to tire a fighting fish but also acts as a handy
and easy to engage spool check. An angler could tackle-up without
the potential nuisance of an unravelling line. The design mounts
the pawl on a brass pivot plate by a simple spring-loaded arrangement.
The reel and drag can absorb stresses from line jerks and shock
loads without damage to the contact faces of either the pawl or
ratchet gear resulting in extended unit life. The line sits on large
bars which reduces line kinking. All moving parts are designed to
resist ingress by grit, dirt and moisture.
Application
You can trot and fish in the margins with this reel. It has some
ledgering capability just in case you have the need to fish the
bottom as well. With perfect balance the Leeds Classic will spin
smoothly allowing your float to pass through your swim without hindrance.
As with all the best center-pin reels, the ratchet drag arrangement
keeps the angler in close and continual contact with the fish because
of the direct sensing of the line through the fingertips. This also
decreases loses as the angler can play and tire the fish with much
more finesse than with other reels. This extremely dependable reel
can be used by both left and right handed anglers. Suitable for
Chub, Common Carp, Tench, Crucian Carp, Pike, Mirror Carp, Barbel,
Grayling.
